With the current implementation of FIO, for compression workloads, it can either generate compressible buffers that are zero filled or according to the pattern specified by buffer_pattern. Is there a way that i can generate patterns that are unique across buffers that are still compressible at certain % levels? i.e each of the buffer should be unique across, but a single buffer that it writes should be of same pattern. -- Srinivasa R Chamarthy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
